Enhancement-led institutional review - Bell College of Technology, Hamilton (16835 words)
The College's mission is to 'provide high quality education, training and advice at higher education level by a variety of modes and in a range of disciplines to cater for local, regional, national and international needs and in support of the economic development of Lanarkshire, South West Scotland and beyond'.
The College indicates that at the course level, students are represented on both the SSLC and course boards, although the former is easier for the students to engage with, as they are more informal, there is more immediate feedback and the timing of meetings is more appropriate for students.
The College's enhancement strategy was designed to bring together all of the systems, processes and activities which the College had put in place to improve the effectiveness of the learning experience of students, by making explicit the contributions expected of the individual, the course board, the School and the College towards continuous improvement.
